When Google's results are garbage I will sometimes ChatGPT or others. This is increasing, but that has more to do with Google producing ever worsening results than any desire to use LLMs to "search".
Google wants to show me products to buy, which I'm almost never searching for, or they're "being super helpful" by removing/modifying my search terms, or they demonstrate that the decision makers simply don't care (or understand) what search is intended to accomplish for the user (ex: ever-present notices that there "aren't many results" for my search).
Recently tried to find a singer and song title based on lyrics. Google wouldn't present either of those, despite giving it the exact lyrics. ChatGPT gave me nonsense until I complained that it was giving me worse results than Google, at which point it gave me the correct singer but the wrong song, and then the correct song after pointing out that it was wrong about that.
Still can't get Google to do it unless my search is for the singer's name and song title, which is a bit late to the party.
